So you want, for example:

mv foo bar
inform-svn-about-mv foo bar

It should be possible, if perhaps a bit ugly, to write inform-svn-
about-mv something like this:

#!/bin/sh
mv $2 $1
svn mv $1 $2

Robustness, such as handling paths with spaces or behaving more
gracefully in the event that $1 already exists again by the time the
script is run to prevent it from being overwritten, is left as an
exercise for the reader.
